One of my coworkers just went around telling me and other guy who often discuss firearms (It's a very 2A-friendly working climate, esp for an office) that her husband was going to Gander Mtn today to check out the going out of business sale. I haven't checked it out, myself, since that location really isn't that close to me, and after reading about lackluster liquidation "sales", I'm still leaning towards not bothering.
I thought this was an interesting article:
Camping World CEO says Gander Mountain made a bad bet on guns
http://www.stltoday.com/business/lo...cle_c5d2fb17-1b28-5221-8b5c-f8c3113d837a.html
"Camping World Chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis highlighted what he called a barrage of management mistakes from Gander Mountain that he referred to as “stupid.”
The blunt-spoken Lemonis — who stars in "The Profit," a CNBC reality show — said Gander Mountain overspent on inventory and expanded beyond all common sense into markets where they were cannibalizing their own customer base.
Betting big on weapons for the St. Paul, Minn.-based Gander Mountain, which billed itself as "America's Firearm Superstore," wounded the business beyond resurrection, Lemonis said.
Lemonis noted that the gun market isn’t stable and as soon as the President Barack Obama administration was succeeded by the current administration, gun sales plummeted."
